At The Long Island Spectrum Center, there is a direct focus on how technology and intervention can improve the lives of children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders. The Long Island Spectrum Center, a unique combination of medical and educational professionals, is dedicated to kids with ADD/ADHD, behavioral problems, developmental delays, learning disabilities and more to develop their fullest potential. The Long Island Spectrum Center helps children and their families to achieve this goal through the innovative use of technology and cutting-edge therapies without the use of medication. All day, every day, people receive information from their senses: touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell, body position, and movement and balance. The brain must organize this information so that people can successfully function in all aspects of daily life at home, at school, at play, at work, and during social interactions. The Long Island Spectrum Center’s Sensory Training Program helps to integrate sensory systems that are necessary for the brain to focus, attend, expand and learn. It exercises your child’s nervous system with multiple types of sensory stimuli like light, sound and motion. The center also has programs to improve a child’s rhythm, timing, reading skills and speech. Tailored cognitive training programs use the most comprehensive computer programs, which contain different exercises to help develop attention, concentration, memory, eye-hand coordination, basic numeric concepts, problem solving-reasoning skills, self-esteem and self-control. The unique Neuro-enhancement Therapy (N.E.T.) Program has been designed to combine The Long Island Spectrum Center Programs with functional medicine and functional neurology to treat dysfunction in the bodies of children with Autism and spectrum disorders.
